Oooooh, your bass is lovely, Jeff! Image

Yes, my 325 is probably the same color as your bass; it's a RIC factory finish, but I think the color is pretty rare on a 325. Pretty, isn't it?

Thanks, Melissa. Its the only 4003S I've ever seen in Turquoise. Some like it, some don't. I like it!

Your 325 is very cool. And I like the gold pickguard on it. I've thought about putting gold plastic on mine, too. My 4001V63JG has gold plastic on it, so I thought maybe I'd leave this one alone. But I reserve the right to change my mind. It might look cool with vintage knobs, gold plastic, 1/2 inch pickup spacing, and a neck toaster.

Melissa -- Just saw the pic of your two "kids". Wow! What a great couple of colors. If anybody had said to me that a Ric would look great in Turquoise or Purple, I would've called the Funny Truck for them.

But these -- wow. I think they should be the cover subjects for Paul's 2007 calendar!

Thanks, Jerry....I was hoping to get a better picture of these two with the sun shining on them, but it hasn't worked out yet this week.... But yeah, my Purpleburst and my Turquoise are my two favorites as far as colors go.
